Note: the dnsmasq.d file included in the new n-m release includes both "bind-interfaces" and "except-interface=lo".
This is already a big improvement. It allows standalone dnsmasq to run on a system with NM and nm-dnsmasq: standalone dnsmasq listens on interfaces other than lo and forwards queries to nm-dnsmasq at 127.0.0.1. $ dpkg -l dnsmasq network-manager|grep ^ii ii dnsmasq 2.62-3 Small caching DNS proxy and DHCP/TFTP server ii network-manager 0.9.6.0~git201207161259.00297f4-0ubuntu1 network management framework (daemon and userspace tools) $ cat /etc/dnsmasq.d/network-manager # Tell any system-wide dnsmasq instance to not bind to the loopback interface. # WARNING: changes to this file will get lost if network-manager is removed. bind-interfaces except-interface=lo $ cat /etc/resolv.conf # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN nameserver 127.0.0.1 search [redacted] $ cat /var/run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf nameserver 127.0.0.1 $ cat /var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf server=192.168.1.254 server=195.241.76.55 server=195.241.76.58 $ sudo netstat -nl4p |grep :53 tcp 0 0 192.168.1.20:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 7039/dnsmasq tcp 0 0 192.168.1.21:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 7039/dnsmasq tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 6282/dnsmasq udp 0 0 192.168.1.20:53 0.0.0.0:* 7039/dnsmasq udp 0 0 192.168.1.21:53 0.0.0.0:* 7039/dnsmasq udp 0 0 127.0.0.1:53 0.0.0.0:* 6282/dnsmasq udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5353 0.0.0.0:* 1103/avahi-daemon: -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dnsmasq in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/959037 Title: NM-controlled dnsmasq prevents other DNS servers from starting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/djbdns/+bug/959037/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
